Therapists in Shoreline, WA

Navigating an increasingly complex and demanding world can leave many of us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disordered and depressed. We carry within our hearts a deep yearning for soulful purpose, inner tranquility and intimate connection but often feel we are just surviving. My greatest passion is to help people find their power; to teach them to creatively work with their inner and outer lives; and to aid them in detaching from toxic relationships and patterns, drawing supportive boundaries and expressing themselves and their gifts within the world.

Loss, grief, life transitions - these are part of everyone's life. We need support, and need to feel safe in order to explore our emotional, somatic, cognitive, and spiritual responses to change. We may use the Enneagram, explore mindful awareness, images and dreams, body sensations, and parts of our personality: the inner critic, the scared child, the seeker. For some, climate change is also a source of grief and anxiety. I offer sand play as a rich resource for in-person clients. Our focus is on healing and growth, more peace of mind, expanded self-awareness, and a deeper sense of meaning.

Are you wanting to find joy and ease in your parenting, but instead encountering frustration? If your child joined your family through adoption or has a trauma history, challenging moments can sometimes crowd out the joy.

The only person you will spend every single day of your life with is yourself. Meaning that you ought to come to know, accept and eventually love that person. As a therapist, my approach functions through the lens of learning to understand ourselves and our own unique needs. This often involves the process of undoing how unfairly we’ve learned to treat ourselves, releasing our reliance on maladaptive coping mechanisms and moving on from our previously needed survival strategies. The work we do in therapy enables us to create the life we’ve always desired and deserved. My specialty lies with adult survivors of childhood trauma.

Life can bring painful and overwhelming experiences—whether it's the weight of anxiety and depression, the sorrow of grief, or the impacts of trauma. In these moments, it’s easy to feel alone or unsure of how to cope. That’s where our work together begins. Therapy isn’t just about addressing struggles—it’s about building a trusting relationship where you feel supported, and understood. My goal is to create a space where you can explore your emotions freely, without judgment, at your own pace. Together, we’ll navigate the challenges you face, uncover your strengths, and work toward healing in a way that feels meaningful to you.

Once, you may have felt on top of things, able to coax your body and mind to perform, dismiss bad feelings and stress with a wave of the hand, and push through. But now it's overwhelming- you sense some things that feel wrong to you, but you don't know how to make them right. Likewise, the relationship with that key person was once fun and easy, but it's now tense and full of hazards, with emotional reserves running low, and hope dwindling for the good parts returning. Why doesn't it work anymore? You want and need more from life and are determined to discover a better way through it.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
